My bank prints on its statements

contact tel 08457 404 404
From Overseas tel 44 1226 261 010

The from overseas number is a local call if i call from home (doncaster to barnsley). Do you think they'd mind awfully? And what are the chances its actually answered by someone in Barnsley? :LOL:

"ay up cocka, HSBC, Tracy speaking, arr can I 'elp thee?"

Surely they know people are going to call the 01226 number. Why bother renting an 0845 number?

The 0845 number would be cheaper for someone calling from outside the local (01226) number from a landline.

so many people now have call packages that give free local and national numbers but dont include these "unhelpfull "0845 nos :D ;)
 
True, and of course they charge the earth if calling from a moby. The above link is handy indeed.

:eek: :eek: .I suppose it stops the dribbling ;) :LOL: :oops:
 
Never mind the phone numbers, my banks (2) print my account numbers, sort codes etc on my usual statements and my full 16 digit number on my master card statement. Very open to abuse until I started shredding them!
